There are only 15 players remaining after the elimination of Andrei Badulescu. The Romanian was all in from the big blind before the flop of {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Jeff Cormier bet to isolate. "Do you have an ace?"

"I have to bet my hand," Cormier said and tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} to see the board complete with the {6-Spades} turn and {6-Hearts} river.

Right after, Cormier raised to 10,000 from under the gun and called the shove of Frederic Delval for 39,500 out of the big blind.

Frederic Delval: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Jeff Cormier: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Böhringer Takes a Commanding Lead

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Kadir Uzunoglu defended his small blind and bet the flop of {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} to pick up a call by initial raiser Thorsten Böhringer in the under-the-gun position. Both then checked the {6-Diamonds} turn and Uzunoglu bet the {7-Hearts} river for 40,000. Böhringer eyed the stack of the Austrian and called to see Uzunoglu turn over {K-Clubs}{j-Spades} for a pair of kings with a jack kicker.

Böhringer had that beat with {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and won another big pot to strengthen his lead.

Patrick Schuhl
Patrick Schuhl

Thorsten Böhringer was the initial raiser and picked up calls by Andreas Klatt in the cutoff, Pietro Errante on the button, Patrick Schuhl in the small blind and Fahir Han in the big blind. All players checked the flop of {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and the {5-Hearts} turn was checked by Schuhl. Han bet 35,000 to force out Böhringer and Klatt. Errante called and Schuhl then moved all in.

Han folded but Errante asked for a count, and the shove of the Frenchman was for 105,500 in total. After staring at the tournament info screen several times, Errante sighed and called. What followed were gasps by everyone at the table.

Patrick Schuhl: {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Pietro Errante: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Both players were on a flush draw and Errante also had a straight draw. The {6-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and Schuhl scored a massive double with just queen-high.
